A year ago today... God called you back home. He called you away from all who knew you & all who loved you. I still don't agree with this decision but I respect it.
I miss you terribly Calvin... more than I can ever express in this moment, but what gives me peace on hard days and empty nights is knowing your presence is still in my heart and dwelling in my soul. Thank you for being there, and thank God for letting me know you. It was truly a blessing...

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
